About this strategy

EUReka V is a EUR/JPY swing strategy. We use proprietary indicators based on daily momentum to create buy and sell entries.

We are confident in our ability to generate profits over the long run, but to do so we respect very strict risk management rules in order to protect our capital and survive during inevitable drawdown periods:

- EVERY trade has a MAXIMUM stop-loss of 50 pips

- NO MORE than 2 open trades at the same time

With regard to size, since every trade has a fixed maximum risk of 50 pips, our subscribers can determine the % capital per trade they feel comfortable risking. We recommend 1% to 5%, which equals the following for a $1000 account:

1% => $10 risk => $0.2 per pip => 0.02 lots

5% => $50 risk => $1 per pip => 0.1 lots

Our performance reflects a risk level of 2%-3% per trade.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
